KCNA Commentary on S. Korean Authorities' "Story of Crisis in August"

Pyongyang,
August 9 (KCNA) -- The south Korean puppet forces are kicking off the
anti-DPRK burlesque while spreading a "story of crisis in August".
They spread rumor that the DPRK's test-fire of ICBM Hwasong-14 passed
the "red line," increasing the U.S. possibility of military attack, and
the DPRK would make another tougher military step on the occasion of the
joint military drill Ulji Freedom Guardian scheduled for late August.
This is a revelation of the sinister intention to lay the blame for the
tension of the Korean peninsula on the DPRK, curry favor with their
master U.S. and hype their reckless military confrontation racket.
It is only the south Korean authorities who are working hard to deny the
fact that the U.S. is the criminal persistently increasing the danger
of nuclear war on the peninsula.
The U.S. is a state of aggression and war which has posed a serious
threat to the peace and security of the Korean peninsula and the region
while pursuing the extreme hostile policy toward the DPRK and nuclear
blackmail for more than a half century.
The U.S. huge nuclear strategic assets are watching for a chance to
ignite a war of aggression while busying themselves on the peninsula and
the region.
It is the essential strategic option for the DPRK to take the road of
bolstering up the nuclear force in order to defend the country's
sovereignty and the nation's right to existence from the U.S. reckless
obstructive moves.
The DPRK has provided a reliable guarantee for firmly preserving the
peace and security of the peninsula and the region. Its successive ICBM
test-fires were a stern warning to the U.S. which is slapping the
harshest sanctions while letting out rhetoric out of discretion.
Now is the time for the south Korean authorities to behave with greater
prudence and self-control than ever before, not going busy with currying
favor with their master U.S. as the DPRK clearly showed the world that
it has capability of making surprise launch of ICBM any time and any
place and the entire U.S. mainland is in the firing range of the DPRK.
This being a hard reality, they are zealously availing themselves of the
U.S. military counteractions, hit hard by the DPRK's test-fire of ICBM
targeted against the U.S.
Their anti-DPRK moves, staged to the tune of lunatic Trump's rhetoric
that he would not rule out a war, are aggravating the tension on the
peninsula.
If the south Korean authorities persistently take the road of following
the U.S., the "story of crisis in August" will come to reality, putting
their existence at peril.
They should behave with discretion if they want to escape a catastrophic disaster. -0-
